局部进展期胰腺癌的多学科综合治疗

胰腺癌是恶性程度高且预后极差的消化系统肿瘤。对可手术切除的局限性胰腺癌，因其术后局部复发儿率也较高，故建议采用以手术为主的多学科综合治疗。外放射治疗是无法手术胰腺癌的主要治疗手段。对无法切除的局部进展期肿瘤，主要采用局部外放射治疗联合全身化疗的多学科综合治疗。Ⅲ期随机临床研究结果已经证实，同期联合放化疗较单一放射治疗对患者的生存具显著优势。与放射治疗同步应用的化疗药物目前主要包括5-FU、卡培他滨与吉西他滨等。同期联合放化疗中应用多药联合化疗方案可明显增加治疗相关的不良反应，但临床研究结果并未显示多药方案对疗效及患者预后有所助益。放疗技术目前推荐三维适形放射治疗或调强放疗（IMRT）。靶区范围建议包括临床影像检查可见肿瘤外放安全边界，对未被侵及的淋巴引流区域不行预防性照射。IMRT不仅可减低周围正常组织的照射剂量，还可提高肿瘤靶区的照射剂量，实现剂量递增。

The multidisciplinary treatment of locally advanced pancreatic cancer

The prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer is dismal, especially at the advanced stage of the disease. Surgery is considered as the only curative treatment modality for pancreatic cancer;however, less than 20% of patients are candidates for curative surgical resection. Multidisciplinary management, including radiation therapy with concurrent chemotherapy, followed by systemic chemotherapy, is the treatment of choice for locally advanced pancreatic cancer. An early phase Ⅲ clinical trial conducted by GITSG (GI Tumor Study Group) has demonstrated a survival benefit for concurrent chemoradiation as compared to radiation alone in locally advanced disease. 5-FU,capacitabine and gemcitabine are the most investigated chemotherapy agents used with radiation. Currently thecombined use of gemcitabine and radiation therapy is under active investigation, and may provide substantial clinical advantage over other regimens. Multi-agent chemotherapy regimen used in concurrence with radiation has not demonstrated any significant effect but with severe toxicities. Conformal radiotherapy should be routinely used to treat locally advanced pancreatic cancer with doses of 45-50.4 Gy. The target of locally advanced pancreatic cancer is focussed on the gross tumor with safe margins. The use of IMRT is highly recommended for unresectable tumor, and makes further dose escalation possible.
